Origami Monday

Today Zorah wanted to make an origami Christmas tree. She had seen it yesterday, but didn't feel like tackling it then after folding all those bell baubles. She wanted the picture of the tree to also feature Floretta, her cat.

I find Zorah's success at origami very comforting. When you don't school a child, you inevitably let doubts creep into your head about the validity of your philosophy. You wonder if your child will be able to follow instructions, pay attention to detail, be persistent, blah blah blah. These projects soooo answered those questions. If she is interested, she will do it.
